Toowoomba is very chill,
it's a peaceful place
that you can relax yourself
you don't have to worry about so many things

My name is Wenqing I come from China and I'm 17 years old
Toowoomba is like a cute little city,
but it also has big super-duper shopping centres,
and the cool cinemas
you can actually see kangaroos on the street
you can see koalas, you can see rabbits
it's just amazing
I went to 'Picnic Point'
and the Japanese Gardens with my friends
I think the Japanese Garden was very beautiful
and there was so many flowers
and when you look to the sky it's so blue
and the clouds are so big
everything is amazing, I think.
I study in Centenary Heights (State) High School
because the school has allowed me to learn so many subjects;
English, Math and Science
I can also lean musical instruments,
engineering skills, hospitality and drama
Centenary Heights (State High School) is a wonderful place
to study for international students
we've got an international program
that has been existing in our school for many, many years
we've got the structures and processes at our school to support
all international students
and we have a strong history of doing this
Centenary Heights State High School is a wonderfully diverse place
we have more than 60 nationalities at our school
and 45 different languages spoken at our school
We have abroad range of subjects on offer for our students
a culture of excellence
and a wide range of expert teachers
and fantastic facilities to support all young people
to be at their very best
We are a welcoming place, we're kind, and we're friendly
and we're a very safe place to come to
We have quite a sizeable number of students doing
Agricultural Science, and sometimes that's something you don't necessarily get in a metropolitan school
At one of our local schools in Toowoomba
we have a large agricultural plot
so students can have the opportunity to go out to that plot
and be part of that subject area
Hi I'm Julie Lambert, I work at
the University of Southern Queensland,
or UniSQ, here in Toowoomba
The University of Southern Queensland has a number of agreements
with local high schools to facilitate pathways into the University
students that choose here at the university in Toowoomba
will have access to a world recognised education
all being provided within a safe and inclusive environment
Toowoomba is a good place to practise your English
you don't have to worry about how to make friends because people are real friendly
they will just talk to you
where do you come from? Are you new today?
Is it your first day? Can we sit together?
it's really nice and you don't have to worry about that.
